Abstract

Swings in serum concentrations of total cholesterol and triglycerides were assessed retrospectively in 12 of 60 patients with mixed hyperlipidaemia (ten men, two women; mean age 44 [38-55] years). A second disease as a cause of the hyperlipidaemia had been excluded. Despite clinical stability and unchanged drug therapy the fasting values of triglycerides, measured enzymatically, in a minimum of four different samples (over several months) differed by more than 5 mmol/l, a mean of 16.6 (5-41.9) mmol/l. The lowest values were 2.7 (1.3-7.5) mmol/l, the highest 17.9 (6.4-44.6) mmol/l. Total cholesterol concentrations varied around 5.5 (1.6-31.7) mmol/l, minimal values 5.7 (4.2-8.9) mmol/l, maximal ones 12.0 (6.9-37.4) mmol/l. Six of the twelve patients consumed more than 60 g alcohol daily. The cause of the marked variations between individual samples is uncertain. Marked swings in triglyceride and total cholesterol concentrations are likely in mixed hyperlipidaemia. It is, therefore, essential to measure these concentrations repeatedly to assess correctly the diagnosis and treatment.
